Ono no Komachi Praying for Rain
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour woodblock print created by Suzuki Harunobu in 1766. The artwork, measuring 28.9x20.7 cm, is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, IL, USA. The image depicts Ono no Komachi, a renowned Japanese poetess from the Heian period (794-1185), fervently praying for rain. Standing beside a tranquil river under an umbrella, she gazes up at the cloudy sky with a sense of longing and hope. The delicate colours used in this print bring out the ethereal beauty of both nature and the woman herself. Harunobu's mastery lies in his ability to capture not only the physical world but also the emotions it evokes. Through this artwork, he explores themes of meteorology and spirituality as Ono no Komachi beseeches the heavens for much-needed rainfall. The piece transports us back to Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), known as a time of cultural renaissance and artistic flourishing. It showcases traditional costumes worn by women during that era, highlighting their elegance and grace. This exquisite print exemplifies Harunobu's skillful technique and attention to detail while capturing a moment frozen in time—a moment where faith meets nature's elements in perfect harmony. As we gaze upon "Ono no Komachi Praying for Rain" we are reminded of our deep connection with both art and nature—two powerful forces that continue to inspire us throughout history.
